Hidden tape of Memphis, one of many. From the first second, however, Rocko makes you understand that he's not one of the many. I don't know where he comes from, but he enters very strong on the minimal beat of the first track: dry and gaunt drum downtempo, dark loop in the background, the boy destroys the rhythm. The host, D-Pimpin, delivers calmly and regular, and lets that creepy, fantastic loop in the background breathe more. The other two tracks are delivered by Rocko with a singsong and almost spoken style on melodic rhythms, with hard downtempo drums, accessible loops and interesting tense strings. The last of these four cuts is a kind of outro. A little over a quarter of an hour of listening, printed Down Low Records, this cassette doesn't feel like an essential listening, in any case, it's a good tape. 6/10.
